A Climbing Robot based on Under Pressure Adhesion for the Inspection of Concrete Walls
نویسندگان
چکیده
The inspection of large concrete walls with autonomous systems is still an unsolved problem. One of the main difficulties is the development of a very flexible platform, which is able to move at horizontal and vertical surfaces. The platform also has to overcome small obstacles and cracks. In this paper a prototype of a climbing robot

Development of a Sealing System for a Climbing Robot with Negative Pressure Adhesion
The non-destructive inspection of large concrete walls is still an unsolved problem. One possible technique is to use driven wheels for the propulsion and a vacuum system for the adhesion. The seals for the vacuum chambers are slipping over the rough surface, therefore it is not guaranteed that the chambers are always airproof. Especially over concrete walls a special seal construction must be ...

متن کاملDesign and Analysis of a Wall-Climbing Robot Based on a Mechanism Utilizing Hook-Like Claws
Wall‐climbing robots have extensive applications, however, no effective adhesion system has been designed for robots deployed in high‐altitude, rough concrete buildings that are subjected to large wind loads and vibrations. This paper proposes a new suction method based on a mechanism utilizing hook‐like claws and presents the design of a robot system for inspecting roug...
متن کاملBehavior-based Obstacle Detection and Avoidance System for the Omnidirectional Wall-climbing Robot Cromsci
Large vertical concrete structures are still a great challenge for autonomous climbing robots, which should be able to perform different service tasks like inspection or coating of the rough surface. With the behavior-based obstacle avoidance system of our robot Cromsci this paper presents a step towards such an autonomous climbing system. Main problems arise from a limited payload for environm...
متن کاملInspection of Surfaces with a Manipulator Mounted on a Climbing Robot
The non-destructive inspection of large bridges with autonomous systems is still an unsolved problem. One of the main difficulties is to develop a very flexible platform, which is able to move at horizontal and vertical areas and can inspect the surface. For precise inspection of concrete walls it is essential to have a manipulator to perform a 2D scan with adequate sensors. In this paper a cli...
